They made 4 all at once. They’re right next to each other.
The #1 priority in the FRC robot inspection process is safety.
If 1114 deploys their harpoons in eliminations, it’s because they met the safety criteria of a very experienced and safety-conscious inspection team leader.
I think I question was asked on the q&a before it closed asking about harpoons. Il look for the actual q&a but short story they said it was legal as long as it had a rope or something attached.
Im not sure. I wasnt there, but if they were doing it in the pits I cant imagine they were super worried about privacy. They certainly didnt ask the guy filming to stop, look away or go away.
Reguardless, Im not going to lie that looks TERRIFYING. I hope that if they dont deploy them in auton that they have something very good to prevent them from firing unintentionally. A harpoon to the ref is not a good way to make friends on the fields :eek:
Once you step into a public venue it’s fair game.
I want to see how these end up being used come elims. if they reel in the cans thats fine, but if they dont. someone might bring across a souvenir with them when they pull the cans from the other side. Which may result in a red card under the right conditions for the harpoon user. Speculation.
And here it is replacing most of 900s robot. https://fbcdn-photos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xft1/v/t1.0-0/11000591_10153189286788559_3201751804762631753_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=37c269808fc0ff29c692cd5d903a61f2&oe=55DE7439&gda=1440859851_9b5404679189c91cb0c53561166305c8
I’m pretty excited to see that thing in action.
Whoa. All their eggs in one basket it appears? I wonder if they’ll wait until semifinals in case it doesn’t work?
It looks like team 900’s new robot is ready to go… And I happen to know that it HAS passed inspection!
Doubtful, as average still matters. I think they will wait until finals.
I think they might use it for the last semifinal match assuming they have a good average coming into that match.
It will be 1114 vs 1678 for SF-6
We may be much more likely to see it now with 1114’s SideSwipe-mounted canburglar all twisted up after that last match.
After 1114 broke in the second round of the semi’s, 900 packed up the robot into the transport configuration… Think we’ll see it in a few minutes?
Sure looks like 1923/1114/148 on the field to me…
1114 is back on the field.
My guess is that the Curie alliance knows that they’re likely OK coming out of this match due to the lead they have on 1671/1678/118’s average, but also know that the finals is against the same alliance that broke 1114’s arm.
End of match edit: SHEEESH. It RTS is right, it will be super close on the averages.
Scored edit: Ow. 1.6 points.
Looks like they won’t get a chance to show off the new 900.
It looked like they were going to use almost every match. They put it all back in transport config but than took it back out.
Can’t wait to see an improved version at IRI!
I was getting so excited to see them in action, and then my hopes were dashed.
